Living the Best Day Ever

Hendri Coetzee is the greatest African explorer you have never heard of.

Hendri was a dedicated and passionate African explorer, considered by many to be a legend in his own time. He devoted his life to exploration and in particular to first descents on some of Africa’s lesser known and remotest rivers, and to the plight of the people who lived on the banks of those rivers. Sadly, in 2010, while kayaking deep in the heart of the Congo, Hendri was taken by a crocodile, never to be seen again.

Living the Best Day Ever is Hendri’s story. Equipped with a core philosophy and a lot of luck, Coetzee embarks on a series of increasingly outrageous adventures in search of the best day ever. Through these harrowing and often hilarious experiences he is subjected to grueling challenges in the most unique and compelling classroom on planet Earth: the rivers and jungles of Africa.
